Problem
When animating a web application, the SOLO web server that is provided with Net Express fails with the following error:
SOLO - Fatal Error initializing
Attempt to bind address failed
This problem actually occurs when a web server, such as Microsoft IIS, is actually running and using port 80 on the same machine, and this causes a conflict with SOLO that is also using port 80 by default.
Resolution
Here are the steps to change the port number to be used by SOLO:
- Open the Net Express IDE
- Click on Options > Project
- Change the number 80 in the "Port address for WebServer" field to a different one, e.g. 8080
